After the most recent update overnight, I was advised to click 'Get started' and 'What's new'. I then get the message 'Unfortunately we cannot do that at the moment - Make sure you are connected to the Internet...' etc. I am of course connected to the Internet. Any ideas?
Are you talking about Windows 10 Anniversary Edition?

It actually happened on Tuesday on Planet Earth. Are you talking about Windows 10 Anniversary Edition or a different update?
Anyway, who advised you to take these actions? Was it an on screen prompt or was it just a web site suggestion? I just tried that action on my computer and it works fine.
If it does njot work for you then don't perform that action.
I noticed the same yesterday after installing the Anniversary Update, the app tells you that you have no internet connection even though you have and gives a list of things to try. I uninstalled it, but have just re-installed it to see if it's the same today and it works now. Therefore, try the following:
1)Right-click on the 'Get Started' app in the Start Menu and go to 'Uninstall' to uninstall the app.
2)Give it 20 seconds or so for Windows to uninstall it in the background.
3)Go to the Windows Store and install it again. It should work correctly then.

The update displayed the usual splash screens, one of which advised the 'Visit "Get started" action.
This a.m. (UK time) and without further intervention I am able to access all these exciting pieces of info. Who knows why?
Ah, OK. Sometimes these "upgrades" reek havoc on some equipment even though it works fine on other equipment.
I certainly hope you can work things out because this new upgrade is actually pretty nice.
